If you're a cat lover and die of love whenever you meet a new pussy, you're obviously not the only one. Now if you think of paradise as a calm, beautiful, peaceful place where you could live with a lot of cats, this is basically the description of a very lucky woman's job.

The tempting job offer was announced in August by an animal shelter that sought to find someone really in love with cats to look after their various pussies at a sanctuary on the Greek island of Syros - we posted the offer here at Mega Curioso, remember? . In addition to receiving a salary to fulfill the task, the fortunate would also have a modern house facing the Aegean Sea.

The announcement, written by shelter founder Joan Bowell, was already quite tempting and appealed not only to the tranquility of the place but to the company of cats, who would not let the caregiver feel alone.

After posting the job offer on Facebook, Bowell received more than 40, 000 resumes, and the person who was selected from so many people is a woman from California, who also has a cat shelter.

Dream

Bowell went with her husband to California, where she personally met the contractor, Joan Telson, who has saved over 3, 000 stray cats. The two got along right away and it was more than clear that they share the same love for the pussies.

Bowell's shelter was founded in 2009 when she moved to Greece and realized that there were many stray cats in the country: “They are considered a plague like rodents, and I've heard countless stories about them being poisoned, burned, thrown into the park. kicked, and sick cats and newborn kittens are often thrown away, ”Bowell said of Greek culture.

Shocked by this reality, she resolved to solve the problem with her own hands and created the shelter that has grown substantially. Today, more than 60 cats live in the shelter and about 20 pussies appear every day to eat. The shelter is supported by the money Bowell raises by selling her paintings of cats.
